[mattyj]

I know someone who was interviewed last week and hasnt been called yet..poor fella..very tense he is

Still, wish I could get a bloody interview

[awyamuppet]

:ooh:

[mattyj]

My buddy got in..he got the nod today..congrats JR!

[awyamuppet]

anyone else heard yet????????:}

[romansandal]

Yeah, heard of another guy that got in. Nice one KA, well earnt.

[awyamuppet]

thye word is on Wednesday they will let most people know.

[sneakykiwi]

Guys can anyone tell me what the regionals are looking at for min requirements.

Not the mins that they advertise, but what they are using.

TT and Multi? Will single turbine count at all???

[mattyj]

300TT with a new instrument rating usually suffices..about 40 multi. You wouldnt want to waste too much money doing a night rating because the regionals don't fly much at night. Best to forget the ATP subjects too because they fully expect you to get them while employed since the material will still be fresh in your mind.

An aviation degree or diploma will also count hugely in your favour




..nah kidding..1000 and 100 will get you noticed..get your ATPs

[sneakykiwi]

Thanks for the info

1000tt and 100 multi might get you noticed, but it won't get you hired, at least not by Air Nelson. They are generally looking at 1500tt and at least 300 multi and they prefer time on ATO's. Very few applicants have been hired with less than that. When I was hired by NS I had 2000tt with 1500 multi, all on ATO's. The lowest timer on the course had 400 multi, gained by instructing, and around 1500tt I think. Things might have changed, but there are guys in NZ with those minimum requirements, and they are the ones getting the jobs. If you do get an interview, best of luck as it is a great job, with great guys and girls to work with. Best job I've had so far!:ok:

Thanks Nosegear

But what about single turbine time, would 900 - 1000 hrs count towards anything?

[NoseGear]

Hi Sneak, I imagine with those hours you down AP way dropping meatbombs and teabags?:D :E

I think the turbine time might be of use to NS, but they are mainly interested in your IFR time, multi time and time on ATO's, as a kind of proof that your current and can already fly IFR on commercial ops. Its worked for them to date, so I can't see a big change in their requirements. If you are meatbombing, try and get some straight and level time on a twin, with your hours, you should have a good shot at it.

Good luck again

[belowMDA]

Ah nosey, long time no etc. how are those jets treating you? I hear you are on a bigger one now?

[sneakykiwi]

Thanks Nosey

Not Meatbombing (although did do that in a C182 quite a while ago), air charter in Africa in a C208B. Mostly Day VFR, but some night, IFR, scheduled route flying. Hope it counts for something. Sounds like a great company to work for.

Cheers

Sneaky

[NoseGear]

Yep, bigger one now, must be getting fat on noodles and rice at 4 am after a night in LKF!

You coming up for the 7's next year? PM me would you.


Sneaky, you could be in with a chance then, I would try and phone NS and speak with the recruiting folks there. Ask for Sandra Bennett, very nice lady and she may be able to give you some advice or info. Good luck.

Nosey:p

[sneakykiwi]

Thanks for the info Nosey. Will give them a call.

Sneaky

[flaming_moe]

Im the same as Sneaky except on a Turbine Fletcher. Are turbine skydive ops any good? My TT is 700

[petitfromage]

Anyone (NG?) able to outline the interview process at Air Nelson?

NG, check your PMs.

Thanks
